Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and Saarland University have constructed a menu optimizer for a GUI builder. Based on a model of user performance, MenuOptimizer evaluates the efficiency of the current menu and suggests improvements, hence enabling the design of better menu systems with significantly less effort.
The last time you searched for a menu entry in your word processor, you probably thought "Why is this not there, where I expect it?" And then you mused, "Why did the designers not put a bit more emphasis into the logic structure."
